Electromyographical analysis (EMG) was performed on 9 male subjects during completion of 2 exercises (standard squat and maximum vertical jump) in 3 different cross-training shoe models. EMG electrodes were placed on the ...

The B-spline R-matrix method was used to study electron-impact excitation of carbon from threshold to 60 eV. A multi-configuration Hartree-Fock method with non-orthogonal orbitals generated a very accurate target description. ...

When estimating the costs and benefits of programs to address long-term environmental
challenges like climate change, the choice of discount rate often drives the results. The Pure Rate of Time Preference (PTP) used in ...

Objective: The objective of this research was to assess reading comprehension of a pharmacy-related educational pamphlet using the cloze procedure in subjects expected to exhibit a wide range of health literacy proficiency. ...

Saving resources is critical to controlling the costs of manned space exploration. It is important to explore technologies for recovering essential resources, such as water, from waste in space. The current water recovery ...

Team sports require coaches to determine which skills are most beneficial to scoring opportunities and how to divide practice time for maximum benefit for players. This experiment was designed to determine if a relationship ...

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been demonstrated to play a role in many physiological processes including vasoconstriction, cardiovascular homeostasis, inflammation, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. A critical step in the ...

Plants respond to external stimuli through signal transduction pathways. An external signal binds the
extracellular domain of a transmembrane receptor-like kinase (RLK) protein, and the signal is transmitted
inside the ...

Placenta Growth Factor (PlGF) plays an important role in the formation and growth of the placenta.
This protein binds two receptors, a membrane bound Flt-1 (mFlt-1) and a soluble Flt-1 (sFlt-1), the
latter of which lacks ...

The Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, RIBS, was recently created as a tool for assessing ideation.
It is intended as a useful criterion for measuring divergent thinking, which includes originality, fluency, and flexibility. ...

Seyfert galaxies, in which accretion onto a massive nuclear black hole acts as a powerful energy source, allegedly have bulges more luminous per unit mass than those in normal galaxies. We have tested this claim through ...

Previous investigations have indicated that the bulges of Seyfert galaxies are more luminous than those in normal galaxies of the same mass. This may result if Seyfert bulges have experienced recent star formation, perhaps ...

Economic geography is the study of how economic agents organize themselves in the economy. The name suggests that economists
and geographers have been working together to build models. However, this is contrary to the ...

Anatomically, males and females have many differences. Females tend to have a wider pelvis than males. Traditionally, males have longer limbs as well as larger muscle mass. Based on these facts, we hypothesized that females ...

Walking is so automatic to us that we often multitask while walking (for instance, by talking to others, carrying things, or eating/drinking). However, it might be expected that multitasking would cause gait to change as ...

Genistein is a naturally occurring phytoestrogen found in soy products. High intakes of soy products are associated with lower incidences of cancer, especially breast cancer. Genistein may act as a chemopreventative
agent ...
